Dorcas is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at Mombasa University, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $950. The registrar has said Dorcas can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Dorcas has a first-class average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Dorcas would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Dorcas isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Mombasa University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $470 • Final term tuition: $390 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $40 Thanks for reading all this.
